Wen Yao looked at him deeply. She used to hate this third brother, but it was also because of guilt that she hoped that he would become a talented person.
Wen Yang let her look at him without any hint of flinching. It seemed that he had really thought about it clearly.
"Since you want to give it a try, I will try my best to help you. Just wait for my news."
"Thank you, big sister. Big sister, I finally know that you are the only one who is the best to me."
Wen Yang's eyes were hot. He had been too confused in the past ten years. He was flattered by his aunt and deceived by his aunt, but his eldest sister never gave up on him.
Wen Yao also lamented that in his previous life, Wen Yang had never been successful and lost money in gambling. He was kicked out of the house by Su Qiuyue and went to the county prince's palace.
Wen Yao was already married at that time, but she still helped him pay off his gambling debts and gave him a sum of money to help him make a living. At that time, she was unable to protect herself and could no longer care about him.
In this life, he can wake up early and it is good to be motivated.
"You can study with peace of mind. If you can't do it this year, there will be next year. If you want to work hard, you are not afraid of being too late. Zhiqin, go back and get a thousand taels of silver and give it to him. You can buy whatever you need. If you don't have enough, come to big sister to ask for it."
"Thank you, big sister."
Wen Yao nodded and asked him to go back to study and ask Yuan Rui for help with the make-up exam.
The advantage of power is that what others may think is impossible, but to these powerful people, it is just a matter of words.
Thinking of Yuan Rui, Yuan Rui was waiting in her yard, with Zhihua and Zhishu waiting on her. When he saw Wen Yao coming back, he winked and said, "Miss, the prince has been waiting for you for almost an hour."
Yuan Rui's expression was not impatient, but a little resentful, like a big dog waiting for his master to return home.
"You came without saying anything in advance?"
Yuan Rui was unhappy: "I'm here to see my fiancée, and I still need to submit a post. Can I make an appointment in advance?"
Wen Yao couldn't help teasing him: "According to the rules, we can't meet each other before we get married. Prince, it's unreasonable for you to come to me!"
Yuan Rui: "..."
"Okay, I'll go, just pretend I didn't come, okay?"
He stood up to leave, but his sleeve was grabbed by Wen Yao, "Are you really angry? I'm kidding you!"
Yuan Rui raised his head proudly and didn't want to look at her. I'm still angry. You can't just coax her away.
No matter what, you have to coax him a few times.
The maids are a little funny, the prince still has such a childish side.
Zhiqin waved her hand and asked all the little hooters watching the fun to step back. The eldest lady was disturbed and was talking about love with her uncle.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. Your Highness, please don't be angry, okay?"
Yuan Rui turned around and refused to look at her.
Wen Yao was funny, "Do you still want me to beg you? That's almost enough. Don't be so angry. What are you waiting for me?"
Yuan Rui sat down again with a look of resentment on his face: "You have no sincerity at all. Do you think I am naive and not as mature and stable as the Shen family leader?"
Wen Yao raised her eyes and looked at him, "You said Shen Changfeng, how did it get involved with him? Are you jealous of him?"
"No, who's jealous? I'm jealous of an old man?"
Wen Yao spread her hands: "Is this going to work? You also know that he is an old man. He is not as young and handsome as our prince, full of energy, and he looks energetic."
Yuan Rui raised the corners of his mouth and suppressed it forcefully, "I'm still angry."
Wen Yao's good temper coaxed: "Then how can you not be angry? I'll prepare something delicious for you to eat?"
Yuan Rui: "Are you coaxing the child? You..., kiss me and I won't be angry."
After saying that, I blushed so innocently, my eyes wandered, I didn't dare to look at the gentle, beautiful and full lips, and I applied water-red lipstick, like a daffodil in full bloom.
Wen Yao purses her lips and smiles, is she so cute?
He generously kissed him on the cheek: "Are you satisfied?"
Yuan Rui looked at her: "Not satisfied."
"Forget it, I won't serve you anymore."
Yuan Rui grabbed her hand, the hot warmth in his palm made Yaoyao want to withdraw it, but he held her hand and refused to let go: "Yaoyao, can we set the wedding date earlier?"
He wanted to do many things with Yaoyao, things better than kissing.
Thinking about Yuan Rui, the palms of his hands became even hotter, as if they were burning in Wen Yao's heart.
Wen Yao said: "You have to listen to grandma on this, you and I can't make the decision."
Yuan Rui said with a smile: "Grandma also wants you to come in early so that you can have a grandson in the coming year."
Wen Yao spat at him: "Who wants to have a child with you?"
"That's right. Don't worry. Let's wait for two more years. Having a child will be too much of a hindrance. Don't just worry about the child and not me."
Wen Yao: "..."
This topic has gone a bit far. If we continue the conversation, it’s time to talk about whether the child is a boy or a girl and what to name it.
"Wait for me, what can I do?"
Yuan Rui said sternly: "Yesterday's assassins have been identified. They are a group of criminal thieves who have killed people in their hands. We have helped Dali Temple. They are all wanted criminals by the government.
Those accomplices who were silenced also have clues. Their bows and arrows are only found in the army and should be equipped by the City Defense Department. The City Defense Department is the territory of the Chen family, and Chen Songyuan serves as the deputy commander of the City Defense Department."
"Chen Songyuan? Doesn't that mean it was King Xuan who did it?"
"Yes, the evidence points to King Xuan, but we can't settle the score with Chen Songyuan. The evidence from bows and arrows alone is not sufficient, so this matter can only end here."
"But don't worry, Yaoyao. If King Xuan dares to attack you, I will teach him a lesson from somewhere else. He must have such a bad temper!"
Wen Yao said worriedly: "Forget it, after all, he is the prince, and I am fine. He is the king and we are ministers. Just be more careful in the future."
"No, he is not the king yet. He cannot act arbitrarily. The princess is not in good health. If we stand together with the prince, King Xuan will be very angry."
Wen Yao's eyes lit up: "You mean you want me to treat the Crown Princess?"
Yuan Rui said: "You can try, but don't force it. The princess is weak after childbirth, and the hospital is helpless. I heard that the Hu family already wants their youngest daughter to remarry the prince. It seems that the princess's time is running out.
.”
Wen Yao understood. No wonder Hu Pingting looked ugly. Her sister hadn't left yet. The family only thought about profits and didn't care about her sister's life and death. She wanted to marry her brother-in-law. It was no wonder she was happy.
"I'll ask Miss Hu later and go visit her. If I'm sure, I'll do it."
"Okay, put your own safety first in everything."
After the business was finished and it was already getting late, Wen Yao sent Yuan Rui out of the yard. Yuan Rui waved her hand to go back: "You can rest, I can leave by myself. There is no need to see me off."
Wen Yao didn't insist and asked the maid to take him out of the house.
Zhiqin and Zhihua went to see them off together. On the way, Zhihua struck up a conversation with Yuan Rui and said, "Your Majesty, our eldest lady has a few special cakes. I will make them when I have time. I will give them to the eldest son to try."
Yuan Rui didn't care: "Don't bother, Yaoyao is busy with so many things, it doesn't matter if you eat the pastries or not, I don't care about my appetite."
Zhi Hua said: "It won't be hard for the eldest lady. I have been fighting against the eldest lady. The eldest lady can just use her hands."
Zhiqin's face doesn't look good. What does Zhihua want to do?
"Zhi Hua, the prince feels sorry for the eldest lady, and the eldest lady is unwilling to move her hands. You don't need to say more. Prince, I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Yuan Rui nodded coldly: "You are a sensible person."
He strode quickly and separated from them in just a few steps. Zhihua could only catch up with him at a trot, his face full of shame and anger.
Yuan Rui rode away on horseback. Zhiqin immediately darkened his face and scolded her: "Zhihua, what do you mean? Are you hooking up with the eldest lady's uncle?"
Zhihua looked embarrassed: "I didn't, I just wanted to help the eldest lady. Now that we have made a marriage, we should focus on the prince. I am doing it for the eldest lady's good."
Zhiqin smiled sarcastically: "We have served the eldest lady together for so many years, how can you hide your thoughts from me?
I warn you, don’t have any thoughts that you shouldn’t have. The prince is not a frivolous person, and the eldest lady does not tolerate disrespect in her eyes. Don’t ruin the relationship between master and servant that has been established for so many years."
Zhihua quickly apologized: "Sister Zhiqin, I don't dare anymore, please don't tell the eldest lady, okay?"
After all, they have been sisters for many years. Zhiqin said: "I won't tell the eldest lady this time, but this is the only time, you can do it yourself."
"Thank you, I won't dare to do it again."
Zhiqin shook off her hand, hoping that she would really repent.
Zhihua looked at her back full of resentment. The eldest maid was originally the maid of the first wife, wasn't it the right thing for her to serve the prince?
Zhiqin doesn't want to climb to higher places, and she blocks other people's way. They are all maids, so why should she teach herself a lesson?
But she was favored by the eldest lady, so Zhihua could only endure it, slapped the flowers and plants on the roadside a few times, and stomped away.
As soon as she left, a figure came out with a meaningful smile on his lips.
